Flowsheet Simulation
•
What is flowsheet simulation?Use of a computer program to quantitatively model thecharacteristic equations of a chemical process
•
Uses underlying physical relationships
 –
Mass and energy balance
 –
Equilibrium relationships
 –
Rate correlations (reaction and mass/heat transfer)
•
Predicts
 –
Stream flowrates, compositions, and properties
 –
Operating conditions
 –
Equipment sizes

Advantages of Simulation
•
Reduces plant design time
 –
Allows designer to quickly test various plant configurations
•
Helps improve current process
 –
 Answers “what if” questions
 
 –
Determines optimal process conditions within given constraints
 –
Assists in locating the constraining parts of a process(debottlenecking)
